Marty Supreme
Incredibly patriotic in the sense that it represents the American core values with all it’s negative aspects. Confidence to the point of arrogance and unchecked ego; unyielding faith in the future until tunnel vision blinds you; dedication that destroys relationships and ultimately isolates. It’s unthinkable how well this movie balances having an absolute self-centered piece of shit be the man you WANT to win. Marty seems to only have traits built to be hate-able, yet he somehow charms his way in to your heart.
And simultaneously, the narrative manages to reflect Timothee Chalamet’s ridiculous drive for his flowers. It’s so unquestionably clear why Josh Safdie wrote this role with him in mind. “Intrinsically linked”? obviously.
I have more to say but Christmas Eve n shit. I can’t think fr
